The Tuesday Club Murders by Agatha Christie

carlacbarroso's review against another edition

4.0

Some of the enigmas were of easy resolution, but what I liked most was the narrative aspect of this book. A group of people, that gathers to spend a good evening, try to solve crimes. Every element of the group tells a story, in which was involved or have the knowledge of, being the only one who knows the end of it. The others have to discover the truth. It was a different but interesting way of using the little grey cells and put to practice what everyone knows about human's nature. I'm starting to like Miss Marple.

Not all the stories are worth the read, but it's definitely the best short story collection by Christie I've read so far. The background, although sometimes a bit boring, is cleverly done and makes you want to read further. I particularly liked the story about the blood stains on the pavement, some others I already forgot completely.

More like 4.5 stars actually.

The Goodreads page for this book lies about it being on KU because that is not the same book. Just saying. Other than that, I found a way to read The Thirteen Problems, aka The Tuesday Night Club. In it, you will get about thirteens short stories throughout it. Each one was pretty interesting and entertaining to a point. I will admit that some of them flew by and others were kind of boring and pointless to me.

The one thing that amazes me is that Miss Marple has a way with solving murder mysteries. I just want to see what is going on in her brain when she comes to the suspect. So freaking good and I can't wait to dive into the next book!

القضايا جيدة، إنما أن لا يستطيع أي أحد أن يحلها سوى الآنسة "ماربل" في كل مرة لهو أمر أقرب للسذاجة، أعجبتني شخصيتها ومنظورها وطريقتها في رؤية الأمور، لكنني أحب لو أخطأت في مرّة، أشعر بالمثل تجاه "بوارو"، لكنه على الأقل يجول مسرح الجريمة كاملًا، ويحقق مع عدة أشخاص عدة مرات، إلى أن يصل إلى الحل، في حين أن الآنسة تعرف الحل تمام المعرفة بمجرد سماع القصة من طرف أخر دون أي علم مسبق بها. كذلك لا أعتقد أن القصص القصيرة تناسب "أجاثا".

وإلى أن أتعرّف على ماتبقى من شخصيات "أجاثا":

I’m not that fond of crime short stories because there isn’t really enough room to develop much of a plot. In particular, the format chosen for this book is even more sketchy than usual because the characters involved are only described by the story tellers. You don’t end up with a mystery so much as a puzzle, and one that you probably don’t have enough information about to solve.

Me gustó. Pequeños relatos que tienen su misterio/crimen y Miss Marple logra dar en el clavo. La verdad es entretenido pero me molestó que la crean tan ingenua y hasta se burlen de ella. Supongo que Agatha lo hizo a propósito. Algunos casos mejores que otros pero me gustó la dinámica del libro, diferente a otros de Marple que he leído.
